Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I first taught high school when I graduated from undergraduate school, and quickly learned that being on stage every day in front of 120 teenagers was not my ideal scenario. After some soul searching, I realized being a Veterinarian was what I always wanted to do (my Mom later found 3 x 5 cards with medical records that I kept on all my stuffed animals as a child). With a 3 year old daughter in tow, I went back to Vet school and have never looked back. Of course, love for the animals is the primary focus, but I also love the connections that I have made with the animals' human families over the years. I have enjoyed all aspects of my working career- preventative medicine, surgery, dentistry, as well as euthanasia. But with the veterinary industry as busy as it is right now, the stress of in-clinic euthanasia for the pets as well as their families has become so overwhelming that I now want to focus on making our pets' final times as stress free as possible.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Carol Earls made a really hard day a little bit easier. I booked this in the middle of a very rough night, she called me the next morning and was available quickly, which unfortunately was exactly what we needed. She was kind, compassionate, and listened patiently when I was not being logical. I could tell she cared about both my family and my dog, Boot. She did not rush us and offered to give us time alone. She wrapped Boot in a cozy blanket and let her sit in the front seat at the end. Seeing how much she cared made it easier to watch them drive away. I am really grateful for her help on this day and would highly recommend.

Review by Dr. Carol Earls

Dr. Carol Earls was fantastic, and most compassionate during one of the hardest times for our family. Our beloved Kiki was with us for over 16 years, so it was very difficult for us to make this decision. Our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Carol, for her gentle compassion throughout!

Dr. Carol Earls was very helpful to explain whole process during difficult time. She gave private family time after our Stark was gone and took Stark with respect. May Waheguru bless her. Regards, Gurmit Singh and family

Review by Dr. Carol Earls

Dr Carol was so patient and handled Sunnie with great respect and thoughtfulness. I would very much recommend reaching out to her if anyone is thinking about doing in home vs going to clinic. I am so glad I found this way and found her to handle this time of sadness. Thank you so so much Carole Tinsley
